For the purposes of proposal review, these project ideas are hypothetical, and students are encouraged to include several possible options. The FRC may choose to advise the student about how well these projects would serve as an integrative capstone to the major, or to suggest alternatives.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><!-- begin-migrated-from-panel-builder --><!-- end-migrated-from-panel-builder --><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Array<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":0,"parent":21,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-24","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/cis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/24","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/cis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/cis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/cis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/18"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/cis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24"}],"version-history":[{"count":20,"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/cis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/24\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3406,"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/cis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/24\/revisions\/3406"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/cis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/21"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.stolaf.edu\/cis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
